The Church Of Ascension, Lavender Hill

This church has stood since the late 1800?s and required a heating system with a sympathetic design, which we undertook. This involved working closely with the church committee, dioceses and architect, Christopher Langstone. The two Ideal Evomax 80kw boilers were installed loft area, feeding 26 low surface temperature radiators, over three floors, on three different timed controlled zones. In addition, three destratification fans, were hung from the oak beam, in the mains church to push the warm air back down.
